Welcoming @digidrummer to twitter. He works in IT, he's a drummer, he's digidrummer. I'm sure he's never heard any drummer jokes before… #

#FACup 10 minutes to kick off. Fizzy pop, crisps and ice lollies. Ah, how things change when you become a family man. #
Not impressed with the #GreatNorthMuseum It’s like the #Hancock museum always was, only seemingly tidier and – crucially- with less stuff. #
#GreatNorthMuseum – where’s the pirhana? Where’s the bees? Where’s the night [...]

Unless someone is really, obviously a spammer, I tend not to block them from being my followers on twitter. I work on the assumption that as it is a one-way deal (they can follow me without me following them back), I am quite content to be followed by people who I suspect may simply be [...]

RT: @chickyog Where has your party stood on hounding the ‘benefit cheats’ -or asking us to grass them up? http://is.gd/CDoO #sackdorries in reply to chickyog #
@krishgm so far as I’m aware, she’s remaining on as his wife. I believe the de-selection process, should it be required, is called ‘divorce’ in reply to krishgm #

I’ll start with my first entry:
tweet your haiku to

haiku competition
ThePickards [1]

I’ve always liked the poetry form Haiku, where you basically have a 17-syllable poem [...]

I subscribe to BBC Newcastle’s twitterstream — @bbcnewcastle — in order to be informed about news and events which are local to me and therefore have some interest or relevance.
So when I came across this tweet:

As some of you may already be aware, I am quite a fan of the stuff known as real ale. You know, beer with flavour in it. I am also quite a fan of twitter, for rapid little conversations on t’internet.
After talking about the Newcastle Beer Festival on this site and on twitter, I [...]

I recently noticed that I had posted my 1,000th tweet on twitter, since I started on January 22nd. That is 1,000 tweets in 92 days, or an average of just under 11 tweets per day.
And when I remarked that I had posted my 1,000th tweet, @scrumph remarked that he had reached the similar milestone of [...]

I’ve spoken before about this on twitter, but there’s a lot of twitiquette that needs to be worked out for everyone. Equally, what you deem suitable twitiquette might not be what I seem suitable twitiquette.
Who Do I Follow?
Firstly, who follows who?
I have quite a simple rule for this on twitter. If someone new starts following [...]

Welcome back, Jeeves.
Ask Jeeves, as the site is now re-re-branded, also allows Jeeves to answer the question in his own inimitable way. In answer to the question “Why am I back?” he replies:
Glad you asked. The simple answer is I’m back to help.
I popped out three years ago to travel the world in a quest [...]
